Exclamation 88' jeep cherokee 2.5l

So I am very weak when i start off in first and second normally til i get to 2-3 rpm's. Any suggestions other than a six cylinder swap. I just bought my 3rd jeep and first 4 cylinder. Is this engine just this weak off the start. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh and greetings from boise.
